LG Motion to distribute SMAC actuators, stages and controls
LG Motion has been appointed as UK Distributor Partner for SMAC Europe Ltd, a world leader in electronic moving coil actuators, positioning stages and electronic control systems. The agreement enables LG Motion to sell and support the impressive SMAC range with its proprietary linear motor technology that allows exceptional programmable control of speed, position, and force for a wide range of linear and rotary positioning, measuring, inspection and pick-and-place applications.
SMAC electronic moving coil actuators are widely used for single- and multi-axis positioning in automotive, SMT, robotics, pharmaceutical, medical assembly, laser cutting, high-speed scanning, glass cutting, dispensing, switch testing, spot welding, soldering, and many other measuring applications where 100 per cent verification is required.
LG Motion is a leading designer and manufacturer of linear and rotary positioning tables and associated motion controls. Both standard and customised products are supported by distribution agreements with several world-class motion control equipment producers including Schneeberger linear bearings and rotary tables, Agile Systems advanced motion controls and drives, and the Empire Magnetics range of specialist motors and power transmission products. Gary Livingstone, Managing Director of LG Motion, says: "We are delighted to add SMAC's moving coil actuator (MCA) technology to our product portfolio. It will allow us to offer high-speed, precise and low-cost electronic actuators and solutions to existing and new customers alike."
Ray Bardsley, European Sales and Marketing Manager for SMAC Europe, adds: "We are excited to further expand our European network of Distributor Partners with LG Motion Ltd. It will greatly assist us to fulfil the ever-increasing demand in both the UK and Europe for our electronic linear and rotary actuators. We anticipate that our products will be highly complimentary to their established product lines and customer relationships which will facilitate success for all concerned".
